I know how often new boards come up and disappear. It's fairly commonplace.

I think this is due to a number of things; one being primarily over-editing.

I've lowered the class experience charts slightly and messed around with monster drops and stuff. Some monsters drop healing potions or other perks.

I've decided to keep things simple for this one, as you will read below:

Update:

Also: Users will have the sys_map_key advantage.





I'm also thinking of installing some type of method of quick transportation which might require a small quest. For instance, a transmuter who wanders outside of silvermere would transport you to your requested location for a small fee...perhaps his material component cost. im also considering making duplicates of existing items and changing their descriptions. for instance, an array of armor you could buy at the blue tower(silvery armor or whatever) which would be another color and evil only, maybe.

Oh yeah...and each class gets a bonus 40 cps to start with.

How about a little bit more information, such as any exp multipliar, limited items.

well there are limiteds and monster exp is normal unless stated otherwise. i plan on this board staying up for a while, so there's no real rush to get to level 120.



there will be a method of teleporting that i will finish by tonight. it wont be sys gotos...haha.



im also going to add in some new items. most will be sold in the shops of rhudar, khazard, or silvermere. i might make a few monster drops for the new items.



anyway, the opening is still on schedule.

also im planning on having a few "scavanger hunt" quests. you talk to an npc, he tells you what he needs and why he's too lazy to go get it himself, and what you'll get in return. these quests may return treasure chests to open, a bag of money to open, loyal items..



anyone know where i can get a good database viewer that would allow me to sort by ability? i dont want to unbalance the game, ya know?

Ok, so I have added the SpellFix Mod and I'm using the return potion mod. To acquire a return potion, you must find the travelling transmuter who spawns in Silvermere.



Also, I edited the help files, everyone gets sys_map, etc. etc.



This is going to be fun and I hope a lot of people join at the launch!









If the BBS is NOT put up at 6 P.M. sharp central standard time, it is because I'm still at traffic court. Fear not, it will be up before 7 P.M. so just keep relogging. If I am late in initiating the BBS, I will give the first 10 users who log on a little money to help get started which my character will not have the privilage of.









bluetower.kicks-ass.net

can we get a mmexplorer datafile?

well, thats a good idea...but im at work. i work until 5. then i leave, go to court, pay my fine, go home, and launch the board.

ok so the board wont be up till you gert home? intersting
